Sonic Drive-In Limeades for Learning + Giveaway!
I’m such a fan of brands that partner up with great causes to do great things in our communities and for that reasons, I’m super excited to have partnered with the folks from SONIC Drive-In to share with you the fact that SONIC is celebrating their tenth Anniversary of Limeades for Learning!
Sonic is a longtime supporter of public school teachers through its philanthropic initiative Limeades for Learning®. Throughout the month of October, SONIC will be donating $1 million to teacher projects, and our fans decide how SONIC will allocate the money. Anyone can show their support for a public school teacher by voting for projects that matter to them. Here’s how:
- During the voting period, Monday, Oct. 1, through Sunday, Oct. 28, SONIC encourages everyone to visit LimeadesForLearning.com and vote daily on specific teacher projects that inspire them. There are three ways to earn votes for teacher projects throughout the Fall Voting campaign:
- Vote once daily after signing up with a valid email address
- Visit a SONIC Drive-In to get a bag sticker code worth two votes
- Share on social media to earn two extra votes
This is an annual philanthropic initiative that donates $3 million per year in support of public school teachers all over the country. For the next few months SONIC will be donating money to teacher projects posted on the Limeades for Learning website that way teachers from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon can get the school supplies and materials they need for their students.
If you have kids in public school, then you well know that every year public school teachers are spending hundreds of their own dollars to buy supplies they need for their classrooms. Kudos to SONIC for not only seeing this need but for creating Limeades for Learning as a way to help offset some of the teachers costs by providing funding for the supplies they need.
The program is successful with the help of DonorsChoose.org, an organization dedicated to making it easy for anyone to help a classroom in need.
Thanks to our partnership with Sonic, we’ve been able to help fun a few projects at the school my children go to. One of their favorite teachers just started a Drama Club and we were thrilled to see that she created a DonorsChoose project so that we could help fund it:
Last year we, with help from Sonic, we helped to fund a DonorsChoose project that equipped my son’s classroom with alternative reading chairs. How cool is this sweet letter that we received from his teacher explain to us exactly what our donation went towards:
To date, SONIC has donated more than $7.5 million to public school teachers, funding more than 14,000 classroom projects and supporting more than 419,370 students
Do you know of a classroom in need? Share this information with a teacher! Sometimes getting the help we need is as simple as asking and I really enjoyed looking through these teacher requests and even found a few right here in our community! I highly encourage you to check out the DonorsChoose.org website to see if any of YOUR local schools, teachers and/or classrooms have listed needs there. We are working closely with our school to fund classroom needs that I’ll be sharing with you soon!
AND of course, don’t forget to VOTE!!
